Bottom of page "Coming Soon"

"A Cousteau Divers line of diving products! Black and yellow, silver and black... the vintage Cousteau wetsuits are coming back."



love your sig, Dale .. particularly "Diving is not swimming underwater; it's flying in a denser atmosphere."

if they offer a range of sizes and styles, it could be pretty cool. I see they are looking for a north american office. right now, everything on the website is in Euros. Might as well pay with CSA paper money.

There are no pictures! Would be cool to have the silver ones...without the spray paint.

I still have a Falco mask from the 70's. Thought it was the coolest thing as it's made to accommodate a Cousteau-like nose.

When I worked with Jean-Michel on a Channel Islands documentary back in 1985, they were wearing the silver suits. How cool. I thought they would make me look less like a marine mammal to a great white shark. But now I'm wondering if a GWS or large mako might mistake me for a giant sea bass if I wore one!

Dr. Bill - is this documentary still available and are you on camera? Would love to see it again. I remember there was a sequence where the kids were at CIMI paddling about in the water.

Cheers,
